My car stalls sometimes when I come to a stop or sputters while driving.

Do you have a check engine light on? It sounds like you have an engine misfire due to a vacuum leak or the MAF sensor needs to be changed out, throttle bore needs service. We need more information to help you, in the meantime please check out these guides to help us get started:
